Central Europe Dance Theatre (CEDT) is happy to announce an international OPEN CALL for participation in dancEUA Choreo Sync, which we are organising within the frame of the dancEUA Creative Europe project, co-financed by the European Union.

​Choreo Sync is an academy for emerging choreographers (defined by artistic experience, not age) to provide them with opportunities to develop their skills and collaborate with CEDT company dancers in the creation of short dance compositions.

10 choreographers, two choreographers from each partner country, will be selected to participate, and three or four choreographers will work in parallel during each working period. During 1+3 days of residency, the choreographers create 10 short dance compositions in cooperation with a mentor. The compositions will be presented to the public on the last day of the whole residency program on 14 November.

Choreo Sync is organized as a part of the dancEUA, a Creative Europe project (2024-2027) created by Studio Contemporary Dance Company – SSP (Croatia), Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), M Studio (Romania), Vitlycke – CPA (Sweden) and UA Contemporary Dance Platform (Ukraine) to empower Ukrainian contemporary dance through creativity, connection and resilience.
